[Resolved] Grabbing windows key for guest

[mikkol]

I'm running a Windows 10 guest in a Fedora 27 host. Regardless of whether I have automatic keyboard capture on or off, whether I click in the guest window, or whether the guest is running full-screen or windowed, pressing the Windows key is grabbed by the host as the super key instead of the guest. The guest does not see the key press at all.

Any solution?

This is an issue when running Wayland (default in Fedora 27). Go back to the login screen and click the settings "cog" then select "Gnome Xorg" instead of "Gnome".

Now the "windows" key is caught by the guest. For me the problem is that Xorg is really bad at DPI scaling when using multiple screens with different resolution so I really prefer to use Wayland.

Thanks. This worked perfectly.
